3. He has thrice pitched -twice with Cincinati in 2019 (both one inning, no runs!) and once with Boston in 2020. (Not so good.)

4. Last year with the Mets, he played SS, 2B, LF and one game as DH!

5. He played in the 2014 Futures Game with future Yankee teammates Joey Gallo and Domingo German!

6. That year, in most rankings, he was considered the Braves #1 prospect!

7. In 2018, he finished third in the NL in At-Bats, with 632!

8. That year he led the NL in Errors, with 22!

9. Four times, he's finished in the top 10 in Caught Stealing!

    A .204 hitter? This means he is your leadoff hitter next year. Also it looks like Boonie is a modern Nostradamus. The rest of the league is continuing to close the gap between themselves and the Bronx Bombers.

    This post made me miss the little comics that they had on the backs of baseball cards in the 60's. "Jose once caught a swordfish."
